<p>Abstract:
<br>Scientific research is producing amazing results at high rate. However it is incredibly difficult for non-experts to understand such studies and their implications. The open source technology movement simplifies those concepts and allows the understanding of these works. This enables citizen to answer scientific questions affecting directly their lives. The "Rock your Rainbow" project aims to disassemble already existing open source spectrometers, and re-design the modules to be flexible and compatible with custom built devices. With this tool it is possible to approach spectrometry: simple examples are the analysis of light bulbs emission spectra and its influence on our psycophysical health, or the classification of plant pigments.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>Since the last FOSSASIA, the Deep Learning Workshop repo (on mdda's GitHub) has been extended substantially. Depending on the time allotted, we'll be able to tackle 1 or 2 'cutting edge' topics in Deep Learning. Participants will be able to install the working examples on their own machines, and tweak and extend them for themselves. Like last year, the Virtual Box Appliances will be distributed on USB drives : The set-up has been proven to work well. Since this is hands-on, some familiarity with installing, running and playing with software will be assumed. Depending on demand, I can also do a quick intro about Deep Learning itself, though that would be pretty well-trodden ground that people who are interested would have seen several times before.</p>
<p>* Participants should bring their laptop AND have Oracle's VirtualBox already installed and working.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>We present a novel approach to intelligent computer assisted language learning (iCALL) systems, using deep syntactic parsers and semantic based machine translation in the diagnosing and providing explicit feedback on users’ language errors, using Mandarin Chinese (L2) as a case study. In this presentation we describe the proposed approach and current progress of a recently funded two year project. During this project, we are developing a proof of concept system showing how semantic based machine translation can, in conjunction with robust computational grammars, be used to interact with students, better understand their language errors, and help students correct their grammar through a series of useful feedback messages and guided language drills.Ultimately, we aim to prove the viability of a new integrated rule-based MT approach to disambiguate students’ intended meaning in computer-assisted language teaching. This is a necessary step to provide accurate coaching on how to correct ungrammatical input, and it will allow us to overcome the current bottleneck in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) – an exponential burst of ambiguity caused by ambiguous lexical items.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>In recent years, applicable area of PostgreSQL has quickly extended into the enterprise sector thanks to continuing effort of the community to improve performance and functionality. As a result, there is an emerging demand to use PostgreSQL in more security-critical circumstances.In this presentation, I will talk about the following two topics. * Considerations for securing a database system. * Current status of database audit on PostgreSQLI am working for the open source software center (OSS center) of NTT which is the largest telecommunications company group in Japan. We have encouraged many of our customers to migrate a lot of database systems to PostgreSQL so far and this contributed much to cost reduction.Some projects need to conform to security standards, for example PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). It is one of the most prevailing security standard in the world. However it is not easy to build and operate a PostgreSQL-based system conformant to these security standards. I'd like to describe some aspects required for secure database systems in general, such as encryption, key management, identity management and auditing.Then I explain considerable points for building a secure database system using PostgreSQL, and show the remaining challenges for secure database systems using PostgreSQL.Finally, I introduce a forked version of pgaudit that we are maintaining, then explain how to use it. pgaudit is developed by 2ndquadrant and Crunchy Data, especially by David Steel with a great contribution. However, it does not meet our customer's requirements. For example, It cannot output the audit log and server log separately, it cannot audit Superuser fully, etc. So we forked it and added some changes.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>The Translational Molecular Imaging Lab at the Stanford Canary Center for Cancer Early Detection applies machine learning algorithms to extensive collections of ultrasound data to improve pancreatic and breast cancer diagnostics. I will present an overview of the MeVisLab software that we use to analyze and segment 3D ultrasound images, and then dive into the machine learning techniques that are used to improve spatial and temporal resolution for the detection of molecularly targeted ultrasound contrast agents. These techniques, applied to big data and combined with in vitro blood testing, have significantly improved the accuracy of cancer diagnostics, and present the future of early cancer detection. As a concluding remark, I will discuss the potential of open-sourcing medical imaging data and the benefits it will bring to the medical field as a whole, telling my story of how I originally got involved with an open source project called CancerBase.org and how that developed into an opportunity to work at a professional lab.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>The most popular ecosystem for Machine Learning and Data Science is the Free and Open Source Statistical Language R. Over the past 20 years R has grown from a specialist tool for a handful of statisticians to an estimated 4 million users. This talk will introduce the R ecosystem for Machine Leaning. We will learn how Decision Trees are built through the accessible Rattle graphical user interface and showcase some of today’s developments in Big Data deploying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies based on open source software.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>Working from home (or a cafe)? Working with geographically distributed teams? This is the new normal.Tools come and go, yet you'll always be thinking about the base - collaboration, interaction, decision making, conflict resolution, and most importantly communication. For people with an open source software development background, much of this might come naturally; mixed mode environments will require some tweaking.Having never worked in an office my entire career (consulting, MySQL, Sun Microsystems, MariaDB Corporation, Percona), here are some lessons that I've managed to learn.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>The talk focuses on how developers and startups (Web / Machine Learning / Data Science / Services) can use Python/Node/Javascript along with the PaaS, IaaS offerings of Microsoft Azure to build applications and easily deploy them in a few clicks to Microsoft Azure. The talk will showcase rapid web development with flask and angular and setup of the project, development and deployment of the web applications to azure websites. It’ll also showcase running background tasks and time based tasks like triggers using Azure webjobs and webservices. This talk will be beneficial to startups and enterprises which aim to build robust and reliable engineering systems and will be using the Azure Application Insights service to showcase how the tool can help with quick fault detections and out of the box features for user demographics and behaviour. Having such telemetry and notification features in place will help find faults as they happen. The talk will be a showcase on how Microsoft does IT for maintaining and running applications with high availability and low errors.The entire talk and demos would be done using open source tools like Python tools for Visual Studio (PTVS), Node tools for Visual Studio (NTVS) while showcasing capabilities like using multiple virtual environments, built in debuggers a powerful IDE. All the SDKs for Application insights are available open source on the Microsoft github.</p>

<p>Abstract:
<br>As a major agricultural producer and exporter; with farming associated services contributing up to 12% of GDP, Australia invests heavily in research and development for this sector.Agribotics is one of the new areas where Australian crop producers are looking to increase efficiency when it comes to seeds, watering, fertilizing and harvesting crops.We look at how PostGIS (The PostgreSQL GIS extension)can be used in the processing of Near-Infrared images and NDVI maps in this interesting new area of agriculture.</p>
